Strategic Health Management as a Key Success Factor: Silvia Balaban makes companies more efficient and future-proof

Silvia Balaban is a graduate business psychologist, author, and a sought-after leadership and sales trainer, lecturer, and speaker for almost 20 years. Her expertise: corporate health management, health-promoting leadership culture, and corporate longevity – core topics for companies that want to remain high-performing in times of skilled labor shortages, innovation pressure, and limited personnel resources. In her 2023 guidebook "Maintaining Peak Performance", published by Springer, she combines science and practice to show how health is THE central prerequisite for productivity and innovative strength.

From insight to implementation: Making prevention effective

As an academic pioneer, she developed the module “Corporate Health Management” at the German University of Health and Sports eight years ago – and continues to share her knowledge there and at other universities to this day.
